Using the $q$-Wilf--Zeilberger method and a $q$-analogue of a "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruence, we give several $q$-supercongruences modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. One of them is a $q$-analogue of a…

This article considers the numerical inversion of the power series $p(x)=1+b_{1}x+b_{2}x^{2}+\cdots$ to compute the inverse series $q(x)$ satisfying $p(x)q(x)=1$. Numerical inversion is a special case of triangular back-substitution, which…

Let $ (G_n)_{n=0}^{\infty} $ be a polynomial power sum, i.e. a simple linear recurrence sequence of complex polynomials with power sum representation $ G_n = f_1\alpha_1^n + \cdots + f_k\alpha_k^n $ and polynomial characteristic roots $…

Let $\mathscr{P}_\mathbb{Q}=\{ \alpha^n \; : \; \alpha \in \mathbb{Q}, \; n \ge 2\}$ be the set of rational perfect powers, and let $S \subseteq \mathscr{P}_\mathbb{Q}$ be a finite subset. We prove the existence of a polynomial $f_S \in…

An inverse polynomial has a Chebyshev series expansion 1/\sum(j=0..k)b_j*T_j(x)=\sum'(n=0..oo) a_n*T_n(x) if the polynomial has no roots in [-1,1]. If the inverse polynomial is decomposed into partial fractions, the a_n are linear…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$, where $q$ is large odd prime power. In this paper, we improve some recent results on the additive energy of the distance set, and on sumsets of the distance set due to Shparlinski (2016).…

Distorted sums of models were introduced and discussed in [Sh:463]. This notion generalizes the notion of disjoint (or direct) sums of models by letting the summands overlap. In the first section we investigate types in distorted sums and…

We obtain a new estimate for Kloosterman sum with primes $p\leqslant X$ to composite modulo $q$, that is, for the exponential sum of the type \[ \sum\limits_{p\leqslant X,\;p\,\nmid q}\exp{\biggl(\frac{2\pi…

In the paper, the author presents diagonal recurrence relations for the Stirling numbers of the first kind. As by-products, the author also recovers three explicit formulas for special values of the Bell polynomials of the second kind.

Permutation polynomials have been a subject of study for a long time and have applications in many areas of science and engineering. However, only a small number of specific classes of permutation polynomials are described in the literature…

In this paper, we have characterized the nature and form of solutions of the following non-linear delay-differential equation: $$f^{n}(z)+\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}b_{i}f^{i}(z)+q(z)e^{Q(z)}L(z,f)=P(z),$$ where $b_i\in\mathbb{C}$, $L(z,f)$ be a…

We consider summations over digamma and polygamma functions, often with summands of the form (\pm 1)^n\psi(n+p/q)/n^r and (\pm 1)^n\psi^{(m)} (n+p/q)/n^r, where m, p, q, and r are positive integers. We develop novel general integral…

Given a prime power $q$ and positive integers $m,t,e$ with $e > mt/2$, we determine the number of all monic irreducible polynomials $f(x)$ of degree $m$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that $f(x^t)$ contains an irreducible factor…

Weights of permutations were originally introduced by Dugan, Glennon, Gunnells, and Steingr\'imsson (Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series A 164:24-49, 2019) in their study of the combinatorics of tiered trees. Given a permutation…

Let $F_n$ be the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper, we study the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=p^xq^y$ in nonnegative integers $n\ge m$, $x$ and $y$, where $p$ and $q$ are fixed distinct prime numbers. We determine all pairs of primes…

In this paper we study mixed sums of primes and linear recurrences. We show that if m=2(mod 4) and m+1 is a prime then $(m^{2^n-1}-1)/(m-1)\not=m^n+p^a$ for any n=3,4,... and prime power p^a. We also prove that if a>1 is an integer, u_0=0,…

Very recently, Tu et al. presented a sufficient condition about $(a_1,a_2,a_3)$, see Theorem 1.1, such that $f(x) = x^{3\cdot 2^m} + a_1 x^{2^{m+1}+1}+ a_2 x^{2^m+2} + a_3 x^3$ is a class of permutation polynomials over $\gf_{2^{n}}$ with…

We show by a dynamical argument that there is a positive integer valued function $q$ defined on positive integer set $\mathbb N$ such that $q([\log n]+1)$ is a super-polynomial with respect to positive $n$ and \[\liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty}…

For all finite fields of $q$ elements where $q\equiv1\pmod4$ we have constructed permutation polynomials which have order 2 as permutations, and have 3 terms, or 4 terms as polynomials. Explicit formulas for their coefficients are given in…
